the day of apocalypse truth??

well this is my personal view of thinking.

Revelation, long considered

the most controversial book in the Bible.

In its cryptic language, many see a timeline for destruction

on an unprecedented level.

Some argue the timeline will end, suddenly, violently,

in this century.

We live in a world that is changing profoundly

and fast, and that is facing threats

that seem apocalyptic to us.

We worry about global warming, overpopulation.

It's necessary only to open the newspaper

or turn on CNN to see headlines, which,

in the eyes of some readers of Revelation,

will be sure proof that the Biblical prophecies are

coming true at last.

Just think about in the last couple

of years, we have seen devastating hurricanes.

We have seen devastating tornadoes.

We've encountered earthquakes very high on the Richter scale.

If you look at how fast they are happening

and how much closer together they are coming, as we get

closer to the end of days, they almost will come

right on top of each other.

The prophecy within Revelation

suggests that as the seven seals of the Apocalypse

are broken one by one, we move closer

to the end of the timeline.

Some biblical experts contend that the seals have

already begun to break, setting the stage

for a final cataclysm.

If this is true, what could happen and when?

Exactly where are we on the timeline?

were will be terrible suffering, wars,

illness, a series of disasters, catastrophes,

that will be visited on Earth, on human beings living

on Earth, as the end of the world approaches.

And in the end, we will witness the final destruction

of the Earth on which mortal human beings live.

NARRATOR: But what forces will bring

about this final destruction?

How would we know that the most important seal of all,

the seventh, has been broken?

Revelation says the final punishment for mankind's evil

will be heralded by the peals of celestial trumpets.

You see seven angels, each having a trumpet.

And they come forth, and then begins the series

of the trumpet judgments.

Some believe that these judgments

will be natural disasters of unprecedented magnitude.

They look to science for answers as they theorize

that the cryptic text in Revelation

may allude to physical forces on or beyond Earth.

Some New Testament scholars say that this and biblical

references to fire falling from the sky

could be interpreted as asteroids.

A collision between an asteroid and the Earth

may be the catastrophic event predicted in another verse

from Revelation.

The third angel sounded his trumpet and a great star,

blazing like a torch, fell from the sky.

The name of the star is Wormwood.

Some believe that Revelation's author, John,

is not specifying a star in this passage,

but a comet or asteroid.

It is widely accepted that ancient observers could not

have understood the difference between various types

of celestial bodies.

And while no stars are named Wormwood,

there is strong scientific evidence

that an asteroid strike could play

a major role in the mass extinction of life on Earth.

Astronomers now believe that all three generations

of dinosaurs, Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous,

were brought to extinction, at least in part

by extraterrestrial collision events, giant comets and

asteroids striking the Earth.

If something that big were to happen,

humanity wouldn't survive.

Today, a collision between Earth

and an asteroid just a few miles in diameter

may release as much energy as 1,000 nuclear weapons

detonated simultaneously.

And the third part of the son was smitten,

and the third part of the moon, and the third part

of the stars, so as the third part of them was darkened.

If a large asteroid or comet were to strike Earth

in our lifetime, it would send millions of tons of debris

into our atmosphere for years.

This would virtually imprison us in a cloud of dust, cut

off from the life-giving sun.

Is this the scenario described in Revelation?

In any case, its author writes that more trumpets will blast

and even greater anarchy will unfold.
